Solve the “Messy Desk” Problem in Math Class!
Teaching the area of a circle often involves cutting and arranging construction paper… leaving students’ desks completely messy and teachers exhausted from preparation.
Digital Transformation Magic on a Tablet!
The completely free digital educational app, “Circle Snip & Snap,” elegantly solves these classroom struggles!
You can choose from three different learning modes depending on your lesson objectives.
Key Features for Your Lessons
Point 1: Estimate the Area with a Grid (Introduction)
Start by counting 1cm grid squares to estimate the area. Students can intuitively paint complete and incomplete squares to grasp the sense of scale.
Point 2: The “Aha!” Moment! Formula Discovery Lab
Cut the circle into 16 or 32 equal parts with a single tap! When students press the “Make Rectangle” button and watch the pieces snap together, the classroom will erupt in cheers. They can visually understand why “Height = Radius” and “Width = Half of the Circumference”.
Point 3: Recreate Textbook Ideas! Advanced Geometry Studio
Perfectly recreate various problem-solving methods found in textbooks! Students can cut out shapes, snip them with digital scissors, and rearrange them… allowing for free, intuitive trial and error right on their digital notebooks.
